Today marks 4 months until Jon comes home!! I am beside myself excited. I am beginning to plan Jon's "Welcome Home" party for the weekend of Memorial Day which also happens to be the weekend my wonderful grandmother turns 80! This is going to be a short post but will put up some pictures. Happy Saturday to you all!
I love it when...
I get unsolicted comments on things that I say/type. Take for instance this afternoon I put as my Facebook status that I need a vacation. And someone decided to tell me that I was on a permanent vacation already - basically that I haven't done anything in the past 7 months since Jon left. Making it seem like I don't take care of Jack, the house, the bills, and the car and like I don't work (I know that it is only 4 days a week) but I am working and not just sitting at home,
Jack throws a fit in the middle of Publix because I won't let him push the cart. The fit lasted almost 10 minutes and I had this women stare at me the whole time like I couldn't handle my own son and his tantrum. I heard the best story ever from my best friend today. She went to get an oil change today and her son was getting antsy from being there for that amount of time. He is almost 2 years old. Once the car was ready, she put him up on the counter to sign for everything and he got ahold of her cell phone and then proceeded to throw it. She went to go get the phone and that is when he decided to practically leap off the counter. Thankfully she caught his half way down. There was a lady that was also waiting for her car and could tell that Jess was frustrated. The lady proceded to make a comment to Jess about Will and then said "This is why kids shouldn't have babies so young." Here is the best part Jess is two months younger than I am - she is 26. Jess nicely told the lady her age and walked out - good times.
That is all the "loves it when" that I have for right now.
So I have been thinking about these for quite some time now. I normally don't do resolutions because I know that I am prone not to keep them and most of the time they seem like petty things to do. I have only decided to resolve to do a few things.
1. To get back into going to church on Sunday nights and to take Jack with me.
It has been hard for me to do this especially since Jon has been gone. Tonight I started a Beth Moore bible study and stayed for the service. I usually will go for a class but not stay for service.
2. Get more into God's Word.
I want to get more intimate with the Word of God so that I can set a good example for Jack and for Jon. Jon did not come from a baptist family so I want him to get into a good bible study when he gets home.
3. Loose a resonable amount of weight.
I am still carrying some weight from when I had Jack and I want to loose it. I also want to get back into good shape and start eating healthier.
4. Start coaching soccer again as well as get my NSCAA Regional Coaching License.
5. Tell my son and my husband how much I love them every single day.
I know these might seem like they are petty things but to me they are important to me.
Congrats to my friend Dustin who was ordained as a Deacon tonight.
Wow, I can't believe that it is 2010. As of today, we have 4 months and 22 days until Jon comes home - not that we are counting. 2010 looks to hold many things for us. The first part of the year is going to be counting down the days until Jon comes home and then the first few months after he gets home it is goingto be a readjustment period for us all. Jon and I will celebrate 5 years of marriage in May - he will miss it but that is okay. My little boy will turn 3 in July - I can't believe that he is going to be 3.
Only the Lord knows for sure what is in our future and I look forward to finding out what He has in store for us.
For now-
